Original Sin

Original Sin Black Widow is a vibrant Specialty Cider that showcases a harmonious interplay between freshly pressed New York apples and lush blackberries. The sensory experience begins with an inviting, deep berry presence that transitions into a refreshing tartness. The blackberries provide a rich, dark fruit depth that complements the crisp, clean acidity of the apple base. It is notably fruit-forward, offering a tantalizing complexity where the natural sugars are balanced by a sharp, vinous edge. This cider finishes clean and dry, leaving a lingering impression of dark forest fruits and bright orchard apples, delivered with a sparkling, lively effervescence.

Appearance. Deep ruby to dark garnet hue; brilliant clarity. Minimal head formation typical of cider, showing a brief, light pink rim of bubbles that quickly dissipates with no lacing.

Aroma. High intensity; dominant fresh blackberry aroma with underlying notes of ripe New York apples. Clean fermentation profile with very low floral esters and no sulfur or phenol character. The fruit character is fresh and natural, lacking any syrupy or artificial notes.

Taste. Initial impression is an explosion of tart blackberry and crisp apple skin. Moderate acidity provides a sharp, refreshing structure. There is no malt or hop flavor. The balance is slightly acidic and fruit-forward, leading to a medium-dry finish with a lingering blackberry tang and a clean, refreshing aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with high carbonation that provides a prickly, scrubbing sensation. Subtle alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated. Slight tannin-driven astringency from the blackberry skins contributes to a structured, drying mouthfeel.
